Abstract
The boundary layer on a hot flat plate which is fixed at zero incidence in a slow stream carrying a progressive sound wave is investigated. Formulae are obtained for the skin friction and the heat transfer in the extreme cases when the frequency is very low and very high. In addition, different methods of simplifying the boundary layer equations in unsteady compressible flow are briefly compared.Keywords
